Olney
Farm and the Shriver-Howard family joined together in 1855. Since then,
the farm has remained in the same family. In 1920, a pony breeding business
was started by the youngest, a daughter, in the family. Boarding, lessons,
breeding and training has gone on continuously since then. The fourth, fifth
and sixth generations of the family live on the farm. The farm has always
been managed by a member of the family.

The farm is
basically a family farm, sharing the love of kids, ponies, dogs, cats and
farm animals, welcoming adult and junior riders and their families to share
the pleasure of our almost 200 acres of fields and woods. Our instructors
have grown up on the farm, taking their first lessons on an Olney pony, leaving
only temporarily to raise their own families or to gain experience in the
"outside" horse world.

We
are an eventing-oriented facility; running a recognized and an unrecognized
event on the farm and clinics during the year with top event and dressage
riders and coaches. We have an indoor lighted ring, an outdoor lighted dressage
ring and a large jumping ring. There are four complete cross country
courses, elementary, beginner novice, novice and training; with many preliminary
level jumps for schooling. There are trails through the woods and on an adjoining
farm whose owner kindly lets us ride on his property  places for conditioning
as well as pleasure rides. We offer riding and driving lessons, training,
boarding, breeding and coaching at events and shows. We would love to
show you our farm!

XC Schooling is Available -- The fee is $40.00 with signed release.
